Training Overview
When managers at all levels take a coaching approach with their teams it leads to better engagement and higher productivity. It also helps their team members improve performance, overcome challenges, set and reach aspirational goals, and build self-confidence. Managers themselves also benefit from an increased communication skills, better situational awareness when issues arise and the freedom that comes from not having to 'be the person with all the answers'. Managers who strategically adopt a coaching communication style find that their team members take more accountability for outcomes and this leads to greater collaboration.
The session will give your team practical techniques to use when dealing with a variety of different situations that are likely to arise in their day-to-day roles. This is a reassuring session that will help people understand how and when they can employ a coaching mindset that sits well with their current management style.
What's more, the entire session will help your team problem solve together, as the exercises and discussions are designed to be highly interactive, engaging and, above all, relevant. We don't do 'death by PowerPoint'!
